Story summary

On October 26, 2026, West Virginia University police with assistance from local authorities executed search warrants at the Lambda Chi Alpha and Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity houses in Morgantown, part of an ongoing investigation into hazing allegations. Video footage showed officers carrying out multiple bags presumed to contain evidence. The university announced it takes student safety seriously but provided no further details about what was seized or if arrests were made, citing the nature of the inquiry. Hundreds of students watched as law enforcement conducted the searches, with campus police and local officers present. A WVU spokesman confirmed Lambda Chi Alpha had been suspended on October 9 due to anonymous hazing claims, while Pi Kappa Alpha (PIKE) was under investigation but not suspended at that time.
